Patrick Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Perhaps not free enough to some, but how 'bout Roland Kirk, We Free Kings? Quote

Free For All Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 One that comes to mind is Bob Dorough's Blue Christmas (To Whom It May Concern). Merry Christmas I hope you have a white one, but for me it's blue Blue Christmas, that's the way you see it when you're feeling blue Blue Xmas, when you're blue at Christmastime you see right through, All the waste, all the sham, all the haste and plain old bad taste Sidewalk Santy Clauses are much, much, much too thin They're wearing fancy rented costumes, false beards and big fat phony grins And nearly everybody's standing round holding out their empty hand or tin cup Gimme gimme gimme gimme, gimme gimme gimme Fill my stocking up All the way up It's a time when the greedy give a dime to the needy Blue Christmas, all the paper, tinsel and the fal-de-ral Blue Xmas, people trading gifts that matter not at all What I call Fal-de-ral Bitter gall.......Fal-de-ral Lots of hungry, homeless children in your own backyards While you're very, very busy addressing Twenty zillion Christmas cards Now, Yuletide is the season to receive and oh, to give and ahh, to share But all you December do-gooders rush around and rant and rave and loudly blare Merry Christmas I hope yours is a white one, but for me it bleeds Wow, pretty dark, not really "free jazz" by any means, but perhaps a little appropriate at times.....

Hot Ptah Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 How about the 10 CD boxed set of the Cecil Taylor Big Band playing "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear", Volumes 1 through 10? One highlight for me is when the melody of the song is finally hinted at for the first time, obliquely, in the middle of the fourth disc. What a concert that must have been to have attended! Quote
B. Clugston Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 If Jesus is the reason for the season, throw on Charles Gayle's 50-minute "Jesus Christ and Scripture." Quote

A lot moreso than the David Murray stuff mentioned... hey, i've got the drums unlimited. thanks. The Soul Note album is not necessarily a "good album", but it fits the bill of "free jazz christmas music" just fine. One side's a dark poetry/jazz thing w/Max's Odean band, the other sides a freeboppish improv thing w/Lee Konitz & Tony Scott added. Not gonna be on anybody's "recommended" list, I'm sure, but it's a good one to have anyway, just because. Quote
